At the end of November I removed my titles from iTunes, Barnes & Noble, Kobo and a few other smaller sites to enroll in Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited program. Amazon requires exclusivity and I was willing to try, but after 3 months (the required time) I find it’s just not working for me. Some of my author friends are having great success with the program, but not all… it’s hard to predict.
All of my books are still available on Amazon, but as of today I’m starting to re-publish my books with the outlets mentioned above. It will probably take 10 days or so to get them all up, and there are a few which were enrolled a bit later, so with the 90-day period, they won’t show up until the end of February and a couple in March, but most of them are available now.
I’m also working on editing and re-branding eight of my books, five of which were previously under Amazon’s control. They kindly gave me back the rights and I’m busy working with my cover artist, the great Elizabeth Mackey, who designs the best covers. When I start to release these – over the next couple of months – I’ll be sure to let you know.
In the meantime, thank you for sticking with me. I can’t say I’m overly disappointed that Kindle Unlimited didn’t work for me because I don’t care for being limited to just one outlet. I like the freedom to market my books as I see fit.
Thanks for your understanding and your support
